Biography
Dimitra Psychogiou received the Dipl.-Eng. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Patras, Patras, Greece, in 2008, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zürich, Switzerland, in 2013. She is currently a Professor of Microwave Communications at University College Cork (UCC), an SFI Research Professor and the Head of the Advanced RF Technology Group at Tyndall National Institute, Cork Ireland. Her current research interests include the RF design and characterization of reconfigurable microwave and millimeter-wave passive components with a specific emphasis on filters, acoustic wave resonator-based filters, tunable filter synthesis, RF co-designed passive/active components (e.g filter-LNAs or filter-PAs) and frequency-agile antennas. Prof. Psychogiou’s group is also focusing on multi-material/multi-process additive manufacturing technologies for 3D antenna sub-systems. Her research has been presented in more than 300 publications and has received the 2023 IEEE MTT-S Outstanding Young Engineer Award, the 2021 Roberto Sorrentino Prize, the SFI Research Professorship Award, the 2020 NSF CAREER Award the 2020 URSI Young Scientist Award and the Junior Faculty Outstanding Research Award from UC Boulder. Her students have also received numerous best IEEE student-paper awards and IEEE MTT-S and APS fellowships. Prof. Psychogiou is a Senior Member of IEEE and URSI and a member of the IEEE MTT-S Filters and Passive Components (MTT-5), the IEEE MTT-S Microwave Materials and Processing Technologies Committee (MTT-17) and the IEEE Microwave Control Materials and Devices (MTT-13) committees. She is currently serving as the President of All-Ireland URSI and the Chair of the RIA Communications and Radio Science Committee and the Vice-Chair of MTT-13. Prof. Psychogiou is also a Track Editor of the IEEE Journal of Microwaves, an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies and is on the Technical Review Board of various IEEE and EuMA conferences. Previously, she was an Associate Editor of the IET Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation Journal and the EEE Microwave and Wireless Technology Letters (MWTL).
